Working memory capacity is an important factor in a child’s development, largely defining the child’s ability for controlled attention, and influencing outcomes in other areas such as academic performance. One in six children lags three or more years behind in working memory development, and the chances of ever catching up entirely are small.
Different ways of asking whether “cognitive training works” have haunted educators, clinical psychologists, and neuroscientists alike for decades. The most recent research studies, however, make promising contributions to the field by covering a broader set of outcome variables, longer time spans, and larger populations than ever studied before.
